DS (4) does not want to leave preschool at the end of the day, which I guess is a positive change from last year when he hated school. But pickups have gotten rough so we could use some advice. Yesterday DH went to his classroom, tried to ease him out gradually by playing with him and his friend for a few minutes. When it was was time to go apparently DH had to chase him around the classroom, then grabbed him while he was kicking and screaming to bring him outside, at which point DS bolted in the parking lot and DH had to chase him again, dropping things in the process. When DH got him and tried to put him in the car he pushed off the car with his legs and arms. It was quite the scene and DH understandably wants to take a break from pickups for a while. I am the preferred parent so I might have slightly better luck, but he has run away from me too on occasion. He doesn’t have any learning disabilities that would explain his behavior, and there is no abuse going on at home or anything. We are usually pretty laid back parents at home, so no obvious reason that he doesn’t want to go home other than that school is more fun. Any tips to make pickups go smoother?
thinking of getting a kindle fire tablet for our kids to use when we travel during prime days. which one do people suggest for a 6 year old?
Argh, I loudly scolded my son’s best friend last night. I was taking her home and we were all on bikes, and I asked her to listen to my instructions, not cycle too fast, too close to others, etc. “You’re not the boss of me! I can cycle as fast as I want.” It was the combination of dangerous + rude that drives me bananas, and I told her that for the half mile home, I was the boss of her. We dropped her off and my son looked at me, and said “I know how you feel, mummy, B is really frustrating when she doesn’t listen!”
I feel a bit guilty though – if my kid was being a pill, I’d want a responsible adult to tell them off, but her parents are very gentle, gentle, and she looked like she’d never been spoken to in a loud voice before.
Is it really true that if a disruptive kid has a 504 accommodation, he can’t be kicked out of the classroom or truly punished even for physically groping female students? I’ve followed some of the chatter about the breakdown of classroom discipline with interest but part of can’t believe that isn’t hyperbole. It cannot actually be true that a student would be de facto allowed to keep groping a girl in the classroom…
I finally did it! After two years (I know…) of increasing dissatisfaction with our daycare, I am moving both kids to another daycare that we’d been on the waitlist for a long time.
Things I was unhappy about: high teacher turnover, lack of experience of teachers (or minimal experience), yelling at students (overheard this happen on multiple occasions—once the teacher told a student she couldn’t have any more milk that day bc she spilled it…).
I’m nervous about telling the daycare today—it feels like I’m breaking up with someone. I’m also very nervous about uprooting my oldest (almost 4) who likes his friends and has difficulty with new things.
Someone tell me it’ll be ok?
Hi – Overly anxious mom that posts about her ST kiddo (3.75)…I posted a while ago about his lack of drawing/writing skills. Someone gave me the advice that they let their kid lead here “like with vegetables” – the activity is offered, and then let them do as much as they want/don’t want, and then let it be. I’ve been trying to take it that way on multiple fronts.
Well, this weekend, kid asked to draw with chalk while we were at a coffeeshop. And then he started writing a few letters! He did it again later that day, and last night he wanted to practice writing his name and his siblings name (with some assistance with the letters he can’t do).
Part of the reason it’s hard for me is because everyone in his class (same age) seems to “get” these things faster, and there’s a very active group chat with humblebrags, so I appreciate all the support and reminders of what is reasonable here.
Just goes to show that they really sometimes just need….time and a parent that chills out.
My daughter (6) was diagnosed with adhd — inattentive type — late last spring. We didn’t do anything about it at the time since the assessment person seemed slightly bonkers and we were headed into summer.
School has (I think) started her with some services anyway this year because of her baseline rates in letter recognition, etc. We will know more in conferences in a week or so.
What else should we be doing? Do people normally get extra therapy for their kiddos? She is very sweet and generally follows rules/behaves, just struggles with retention and focus — classic ADHD for girls, I’ve heard.
Today on the main site there is an interesting discussion about how to not raise spoiled kids. Is there a good resource about how to talk about different money related topics in an age appropriate, non anxiety producing way. the other day my 6 year old was crying and extremely distraught bc a patch fell off this purse she decorated at a birthday party and how she didnt have enough money to buy a new patch and while I guess it is good she doesn’t think i’ll just buy her whatever, i also dont want her super anxious about this at age 6, though i know some of this comes down to personality.
